Couples Needing Fertility Treatment

Acupuncture and Fertility

One of our great joys is helping couples to conceive either naturally or through assisting in their planned IVF treatment. Touch2Heal are affiliated acupuncturists to Zita West, the world renowned fertility expert.

Zita West, herself a qualified acupuncturist, has always used acupuncture (alongside mainstream Western medicine) as an essential part of her natural or assisted IVF fertility programmes.

Acupuncture can contribute in several ways. For instance, many women suffer erratic menstrual cycles which is not ideal but acupuncture can help regulate this and get the cycle back under control.

Giving you the Best Chance

It is also useful for reducing stress which it does by decreasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. High stress levels are associated with a reduced chance of conceiving.

Acupuncture is a useful therapy for improving blood circulation. We therefore provide treatment that can improve the supply to the pelvic organs and uterus giving the reproductive organs their best chance of working to full potential.

Our treatment can also be used to help trigger ovulation as well as helping women with PCOS, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea and pelvic inflammation.

It Works for Men Too

It’s not only women that can benefit either. A combination of acupuncture and modified diet can be very effective at increasing sperm count. And before you panic guys, NO WE DON’T place the needles anywhere near your “crown jewels!”

We offer fertility related acupuncture at our clinics in Ashford and Chatham, Kent. If you’ve been struggling to have a baby why not give us a call and find out how Touch2Heal can help you conceive?

Testimonials

I’d been trying to get pregnant for over two years but was diagnosed with unexplained infertility after an inconclusive laparoscopy. I went to see Cecile at Touch2Heal to try acupuncture. You can imagine my surprise and delight when I became pregnant within a month!

Juliette Henshaw, Ashford Kent

To say I was sceptical would be an understatement. However I was diagnosed with a low sperm count of poor quality so decided to see if acupuncture could actually work. We’ve now been rewarded with a lovely daughter which says it all.

Ian Hughes, Chatham Kent

We’d been struggling to have a baby for years so we signed up for the Zita West IVF programme. Acupuncture played a key role in this and I have to say Cecile was a delight. I miss our regular chats however the treatment was a fantastic success as evidenced by my beautiful baby son, William.

Linda Mills, Ashford Kent

When Cecile examined my stomach she founded a really hard area and advised me to ask my consultant for another laparoscopy. They discovered endometriosis which was layered. I’m pleased to say the next treatment of IVF was a complete success.
